debatable where to put it, in history or theory, but this kinda big article covers 20th century left development and later de-development (invelopment (tm)), through the hegelian prism (or what i see as such), but it's an interesting and wide-spanning view if sometimes rich on the "critique of all there is" vibes. CW: (mentions of sa/homophobia/transphobia)
(i put it in hegelian category, cause while there is lot of object/subject thingies (largely cause it's what new left theory was doing, but in any case, non-economical) the details of issues are never elucidated through material lense. workers revolted - which workers? what did they do? what percentage of workers? students protested - which students and why? women protested - again, which women and why? soviet supported the maintenance of the union - funny, cause previous text would lead one to believe there were no redeeming qualities there etc - but also function of the span of the text)
